John Deere Original Equipment Bag #AM135485

What It Is

This is a John Deere Original Equipment bag (part #AM135485) designed to collect grass clippings and leaves on select John Deere riding mowers. It’s a genuine OEM replacement for the factory bag, not a universal or aftermarket option.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model and deck size. This bag fits specific John Deere 100, 300, and X300 series tractors with 42-inch, 48-inch, or 54-inch Edge/Speed/7-Iron decks. Check your owner’s manual or the existing bag’s part number—common compatible models include D110, D130, X304, X320, X340, X360, and X380. It will not fit older series (e.g., L or GX) or non-John Deere mowers. Measure your bag’s mounting bracket spacing (roughly 10 inches center-to-center) to ensure a match. This is a direct OEM replacement, so no adapter or modification is needed if your mower is listed.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heavy-duty woven polypropylene, so it resists tearing and UV damage better than most aftermarket bags. Expect 3–5 years of regular use.
• Installation: Simple—slides onto existing brackets and secures with a spring-loaded latch. No tools required; takes under 5 minutes.
• Common gotcha: If your mower uses a different bag design (e.g., the older AM125212), this won’t fit. Also, the bag is not compatible with mulching or side-discharge attachments—it’s strictly for bagging mode.
• Capacity: Holds about 6–7 bushels (roughly 2–3 full mower loads of clippings). Larger than most aftermarket bags, but still empties easily via a top zipper.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a compatible John Deere riding mower and want a durable, exact-fit replacement that won’t sag or tear after a season. It’s worth the premium over cheaper aftermarket bags for the hassle-free fit and longevity. If your mower isn’t listed or you’re on a tight budget, consider a universal bag instead.
